This time we will show you how to create colorful rockstar poster in photoshop. In this tutorial we will use plenty of various photoshop techniques. Tutorial is pretty complex, so you will need to carefully follow each step of this tutorial.

4.Step

5.Step

Apply Image (Image > Apply image).

6.Step

Pay close attention to these steps: this is the technique how to create the robot effect. We will use a 2 px brush 100% hardness and modify its values: take a look picture below: amend the variation of Fujo to 2 and change the pen precious.

7.Step

For now, do not use Brush tool. At first take Pen tool and draw some lines on girls foot. Now right mouse click and select Stoke path and select brush. With this step our contours will be drawing with brush.

8.Step

Ctrl + left mouse click on previously applied layer (model). With this we will load selection over the girl contour. Now invert selection: (Select > Invert) and apply the layer mask to this layer.

9.Step

Repeat this technique to the rest of the leg. Result will be pretty good.

10.Step

For now we will need protect shadows and shades tones. To do that, we will use the Dodge tool. Select a soft brush, use brush size 7px.

11.Step

For the same reason we will use Burn tool. Select soft brush with size 4px and protect light tones.

12.Step

Apply the burn tool and dodge tools to the leg. Also I suggest to add white lines in Soft light mode, to add some highlights..

13.Step

Our girls leg is ready. Now apply all these techniques to girls hand. Here is result what you need to have.

14.Step

Girls robot elements are ready, for now hide layers with girl. Next we need create colorful background. With Elliptical Marquee tool, create 3 circles as in the image, no matter what colors you use.

19.Step

20.Step

21.Step

Central shape aora going to convert the group to a normal coating for this we will double the group and create a new layer, combine.

22.Step

Duplicate this layer 5 times (Ctrl + J).

23.Step

Repeat step 21 but with this group we use the perspective to shape our shapes.

24.Step

Now we will colorful our bubbles. We use Hue and saturation (Ctrl + u) to set the desired color. Duplicate this layer and put it on the other side and use again to give tone and color saturation. Now make visible girls layer.

25.Step

We use the original form of the circle using the same parameters of Hue and saturation.

26.Step

We use the gradient to create a shadow layer. Change layer blending mode to : Soft light, opacity 74%.

27.Step

Now download stars texture: Stock of stars. Place it in our document and change layer blending mode to Soft light.

28.Step

Again we use our original circle. Change color, use Hue and saturation (ctrl + u) and use the perspective.

29.Step

Applying shadows and reflections.

30.Step

Applying again our patern asemos a circle and add a light brush, so we use the same tool we use a soft brush finger 72px and intensity of 32%.

31.Step

Duplicate this layer again and use perspectives.

32.Step

Use the same brush of light, but this time change layer blending mode to Color dodge.
